1 Timothy 5:17-25 - Honoring Worthy Elders And Dealing With Sinners
17 Let the elders who preside properly be counted worthy of double honour, especially those who are laborious in preaching and teaching. 18 For the Scripture saith, "Thou shalt not muzzle the ox while he treadeth out the corn." And again, "The labourer is worthy of his hire."
19 Against a presbyter receive not an accusation, except it be from two or three witnesses. 20 Those who sin rebuke before all, that the rest also may tremble. 21 I adjure thee before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the elect angels, that thou observe these things without prejudice, doing nothing by partiality. 22 Lay hands hastily on no man, nor share another's sins: keep thyself pure; 23 confine thyself no longer to water-drinking; but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake, and thy frequent indispositions. 24 Some men's sins are glaringly manifest, going before to judgment; and after others also they follow [to detection]. 25 In like manner also the good works [of some] are previously manifest; and it is not possible that what they have besides should be concealed.
